As the ITER project enters the critical assembly stage, the research scope of ITPA has expanded from physics research to both physics and engineering research. The number of specialized groups under ITPA has increased from seven to nine, including two new specialized groups focused on tokamak engineering and operation. The meeting comprehensively reviewed the activities and achievements of theoretical research, joint experiments, and conference discussions carried out by ITPA in 2025, and discussed the proposed collaborative research plans for the next year.
